Hair color associated with the glamor and the beaches of Los Angeles, platinum blond has been raging for a few seasons. Selena Gomez has just succumbed and gives us almost want to try. The point on this radical coloring before jumping the pace.

Rendering cult by the iconic Marilyn Monroe, the platinum blonde signs his comeback by seducing more and more stars and models. Gwen Stefani, Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, and more recently Katy Perry and Selena Gomez have succumbed.

But how to get a mane of a blond almost white without leaving his beautiful hair?

Platinum blond is it for me?

The platinum blonde is not going to everyone. Color and nature of the hair, complexion of the skin, color of the eyes or eyebrows: many factors must be taken into account for the result to be as aesthetic as possible.

Before making the big jump, we ask ourselves the right questions.

I have blond, brown hair? So I can start without too much fear. Enlightening my hair to get a platinum blonde may not require several appointments at the hairdresser.
I have dark hair, which goes from dark brown to raven black? Switch to platinum blond will be more complicated. The process may indeed weaken the hair because it will be necessary to go through several sessions of discolorations to reach the blonde almost white.

The right hair routine to maintain your peroxide blond

Unlike a classic coloring or a sweep , to obtain a platinum blonde, it is necessary to discolor the entire hair in order to obtain this very clear result.

We then proceed to a platinum blond color, which will be redone every month to prevent the hair turns white or yellow, and every 8 to 9 weeks if you want to keep darker roots.

Once the cap of the peroxidized color passed, it is also necessary to be forced to a very sharp capillary routine. We use shampoos and other care products formulated specifically for very light blondes, we use and abuse nourishing hair masks -the discolored hair has become drier- finally, we dare the baths of vegetable oils ( coconut oil , jojoba oil, argan oil ) to fortify, protect and guarantee shine to its lengths once a week.

Above all, we take care of the harmful effects of chlorine that may green our hair if we decide to go to water aerobics or go on vacation. To avoid any nasty surprises, we then adopt an anti-chlorine shampoo (and a bathing cap!).
